I truly believe that Far Infrared sauna therapy is great for all of us for so many reasons. This is why when I come across another terrific reason for Far Infrared I was not shocked but I will admit I was even more impressed by this technology. 

I recently discovered that Far Infrared sauna therapy actually increases our body’s natural production of HGH. HGH is produced by the pituitary gland. It spurs growth in children and adolescents and aids in regulating body composition. It also controls body fluids, muscle and bone growth, sugar and fat metabolism and heart function. It’s a good thing!

Our body’s naturally produce HGH (growth hormone) in the pituitary gland. It is responsible for cell growth and regeneration. Increasing muscle mass and bone density cannot occur without HGH. It also plays a major role in maintaining the health of all human tissue including that of the brain and our other vital organs. 

When secreted HGH only stays in the bloodstream for a few minutes however this is enough time for the liver to convert it into growth factors. The most critical of factors is insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) which boasts a host of anabolic properties. In the 1950’s HGH was taken from cadavers for use, while it took until the 1980’s to produce a synthetic version of HGH. Today HGH is used as a supplement to enhance athletic performance.

Due to the fact that HGH is a synergistic, foundational biochemical that addresses the serious muscle loss and atrophy that typically occurs with aging, the more HGH you have circulating within your system the better. The higher your levels of HGH the healthier and stronger you will be. 

However, once you hit the age of thirty you enter what’s called ‘somatopause’. This is when your levels of HGH begin to drop off quite dramatically. This decline of HGH is part of what drives your aging process, so maintaining your HGH levels gets increasingly important as you age.

The problem now is how to increase HGH after the age of thirty. The good news is there is a natural way – no drugs! We know HGH is crucial for repair and recovery of muscles, and research indicates that two, twenty minute Far Infrared sauna sessions separated by a twenty minute rest or two fifteen minute sauna sessions at an even warmer temperature separated by a thirty minute cooling period resulted in a five times increase in HGH. 
 
Even better is that repeated exposure to whole body hyperthermia, what happens during a Far Infrared sauna,  boosts HGH right afterwards. Two, sixty minute Far Infrared sauna sessions for seven days has been shown to increase HGH levels sixteen times normal. So, technically if you simply use a Far Infrared sauna, get hot, sweat and enjoy all the other benefits of infrared, you will naturally see a hefty increase in your HGH production.
 
Even better? Combine Far Infrared sauna therapy and exercise. Together they induce a synergistic increase in HGH. An additional recovery benefit is Far Infrared sauna therapy also increases blood flow to muscles. This aids them to remain fueled with glucose, amino acids, fatty acids, and oxygen while removing by-products of metabolic processes such as lactic acid and calcium ions.
 
There are ways to naturally optimize your HGH. Far Infrared sauna therapy truly is amazing in it’s ability to increase HGH levels. Far Infrared sauna use combined with exercise may lead to even greater, synergistic increases in HGH as well as brain-derived neurotrophic factor which is beneficial for your brain. 
 
Additionally, the Far Infrared sauna can be a powerful tool to help you mobilize and eliminate stored toxins in your body. All in all, daily use of a Far Infrared sauna definitely allows you to grow more growth hormone!
 

I am glad infrared saunas have developed the way they have, because I couldn’t imagine my life without the benefits they provide, like deep sleep, lower blood pressure, less joint pain, weight loss, and a boosted immune system. Here at SaunaCloud I sell saunas that are some of the best history has offered. My far infrared saunas use advanced ceramic-carbon combination heaters for an amazing sauna experience.
